Interesting. I didn't notice 2 forms being sold. Not that it
matters much as I dont intend to use FeCl unless desperate and I'll
get the pre-mixed stuff from radio shack.

And, yes, I added the dry stuff to the water but it still made a
horrible mess splattering. Even small amounts caused problems. I
did have several years of University Chem so I know the proper
procedures.
